You probably wouldn't want to know a guy like Jasper, but for the sake of your career, you would definitely need him as your ally.  And then you'd have to put up with a lot of weirdness.  Jasper is older, wealthy and connected.  He can represent your entry into the art world or he could possibly be a source of unending grief, always promising, never delivering, peppering you with odd questions and constantly speaking about things in a vaguely sexual way.  Is he just an odd Warhol-esque guy who can help or is he a full-on creep? Can you trust his advice?  What does he want from you?  These are all valid questions.  Listen to the tune and let me know.  To be clear: Jasper isn't based on anybody.  He's just a character I created for this song.
